WikiLeaks is a not-for-profit media organization. Our goal is to bring important news and information to the public. We provide an innovative, secure and anonymous way for sources to leak information to our journalists (our electronic drop box).

The broader principles on which our work is based are the defence of freedom of speech and media publishing, the improvement of our common historical record and the support of the rights of all people to create new history. We derive these principles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In particular, Article 19 inspires the work of our journalists and other volunteers. It states that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. We agree, and we seek to uphold this and the other Articles of the Declaration.

And describes itself as:

“an uncensorable system for untraceable mass document leaking”

And as demonstration of the truth of that statement actual documents have been posted on Wikileaks that embarrass world governments, politicians, military organizations, Intelligence Agencies, and major corporations and banking institutions. These documents have motivated any number of those embarrassed to attempt to shut down the website claiming one form of harm or another that may come from the publication of the evidence against them. Presumably the main harm is “someone told our secrets!”

Sign onto to any website addressing UFO phenomena, Bigfoot sightings, Area 51, Moon Landings, Time Travel or any of those stories that fall into the realm of the Unexplained as you read in these and other pages and you will find stories of Government Cover-ups. I have posted more than one story about people claiming to have, or having seen the government documents that prove the truth of their conspiracy of choice. Somehow, those documents never find their way into the pages of Wiki Leaks.

Here is Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Defense Minister outing the UFO conspiracy of silence.

Not a word has ever been released to Wikileaks.

Here is believer Shirley MacLaine stating clearly that she knows personnel in Military Intelligence who want this information released

Yet not a word appears on a website designed for anonymity.

Here is Stanton Friedman discussing that he knows for a fact that the documents exist

Thousands of military personnel, Intelligence personnel who it is claimed want this information to be publicized, thousands of government employees, officials and politicians that have seen documentation spanning more than 60 years an all now reveal that documentation with complete anonymity. Yet none do so.

Why?

The will is claimed to be there, the documents are claimed to be there, and the medium for disclosure is ready and available. The Believers are going to say it simply has not happened yet. World governments are releasing their UFO files to the public every other year or so. No proof comes from them, only the same questions the public has. Okay, the revelatory files are being withheld. Well, many of those files are old, not on computer. That means someone has to go through the files by hand and select the ones that are to be made public and the ones that are to be kept secret. More hands on the documents. No documents in the public eye.

Is it getting harder to maintain the Conspiracy of Silence theory regarding, well everything that the public claims it wants to know? How long will it be?

I would like nothing more than the proof of various cryptids, alien civilizations, even alien visitors to be found. But that proof will come only through rigorous science and objective analysis, and by holding evidence to the highest standards of scrutiny.
Born in south eastern Pennsylvania, i have found myself at one time or another living in Chicago, Cleveland, Raleigh-Durham, on the island of Kaua'i and finally landed on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. I have turned my hand to various professions from early work in 3d graphics to historic building restoration, carpentry and log home building to working in a bronze art foundry on the WWII Veterans Memorial. Currently I am a writer, script writer and working for a non profit organization called Empowerment Through Connection which is involved in equine assisted therapy for veterans, at risk teens and women.

from what i understand,from years of following anything about aliens is there are people that have some very serious power and are very,very serious about keeping it a secret and there are things going on that we can not imagine .even to the point of disappearing and strange accidents happing.i hear the cia,nsa has a dept. that does nothing but disinformation,debunking.another thing,main stream news sensationalize everything but videos,photos of unidentified objects flying around the iss,moon,nucleur missle sites,ect,ect,you only see them on utube,google,is somebody controlling that to…

Yes, send UFO documents and stuff here! Really though, is anything on wikileaks that juicy? It has to be some of the most boring gossip on the planet. I have high standards for that kind of stuff.

This is a qood question. Remember that the conspiracy of silence theory usually claims that data is held by not only many branches of the US Government, but by many other governments as well, and that there are many people on the inside of those various entities who want the truth to come out. WikiLeaks has had many sources from around the world (not just the Bradley Manning files) exposing secret information affecting various governments. Even information that some entities would like to prevent coming out, or would be willing to take covert action to prevent coming out. So one might expect that there would be some UFO/etc documentation submitted to WikiLeaks; it’s hard to maintain a seamless information barrier across competing governments (and branches of governments) on just UFO/etc issues (but not other issues). Thus the absence is somewhat discrediting to the conspiracy of silence.

The major counter hypothesis might be that WikiLeaks staff themselves might not believe “far out” stuff and might think they are being played with an aim to discredit their more “serious” political goals by associating WikiLeaks with concepts that have been discredited in the public mind or serious media.

However, IF the evidence was solid enough to stand up to scrutiny, it seems likely that some combination of fervor for truth about something that important, desire to embarrass the Security State mindset, and self aggandization and justification for their existance, might cause them to publish it. So if they just got fragmentary or questionable allegations they might hold onto it, but if they got real evidence I think they would publish it.

Wikileaks notwithstanding, the government is capable of keeping secrets and keeping them for a long time. Right after the Korean War, the U.S. fielded a light tank that used a 76-mm M32 cannon. This system is some 60 years old today and the performance of its armor-piercing projectiles is still classified information.

Whether the ability to keep secrets implies a secret government of some kind is a different matter.

I tend to believe there are decisions made behind the scenes and outside the formal structure of the government. It is not so much a real “secret government” as the penchant of the rich and powerful to cut their own deals away from the view of the public.

That said, simply dismissing conspiracy theories out of hand may not be a wise course of action. Even if there is no “secret government”, out-of-public-view deal making can still have very real effects on our daily lives. Anyone remember how swiftly the Patriot Act was made law after 9/11 ? That document had been written well before 9/11 — a political maneuver that depended on something very bad happening in order to make the PA legislation. 9/11 occurred, the PA was put in front of congress, and without it being duly read, understood, and considered by congress, it was made law.

This episode with the PA was not secret government in action, but it certainly isn’t how the federal system of government is intended to operate, either.

Henry Julian Assange’s an extremely clever and very ruthless man and if he really is the voice of freedom that’s good. I still haven’t made my mind up though whether he’s really a schill who’s been strategically leaking info to achieve effects contrary to those supposed and all the subsequently inadvertently delayed releases were always part of the plan.

Whatever his true intentions he’s also a master manipulator who really knows how to draw in and hold audiences like few others so even if he really is a ‘good guy’ I wouldn’t’ve put it past him to’ve mentioned UFO files even if none actually exist simply to draw contributions from a hot tempered crowd known to be extremely passionate about finding proof UFOs do/don’t exist.

They can keep a secret like the performance of those M32 projectiles because it’s not interesting at all to the general public. No one cares about that type of info except foreign military types. But UFO or other conspiracy information? It’s too good, too “juicy”. As much as I want to think the Feds have something good, human nature points out it is very likely they don’t.

This article is good, because it makes one think. There is no denying Assange’s and WikiLeaks are exposing a lot of secret information. Chirst! There’s almost a price on his head. US Congress people publicly claimed he should be killed! Assange is currently taking political refuge in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, permanently as far as anyone knows. We should really ask how real are the “coverups” of UFO, Bigfoot,
Area 51, Moon Landings, Time Travel or all the rest of unexplained? How has the government publicly responded to any those people exposing these unexplaineds? What have they done in secret to those people? Nothing! Stanton Friedman has been “exposing” UFO for almost 40 years. The guys from Area 51 are still at for at least 2 or 3 decades. And, Bigfoot – why would the government be interested in that? It’s not even related to profits and CEOs and big business, why would the government get involved, except to fund research, which it doesn’t? etc., etc.

Wikileaks could have received documentation on conspiracy theories but may chose not to publish. It is probably hard to authenticate anything they get, especially with the volumes of fraudulent material that is out there. And they probably want to stay out of the fray of such ridiculed topics as aliens, etc as they are building a reputation and this topic would surely harm that.

Whether any legitimate documents exist, who knows, but would you really ever believe them unless they were released from the gov’t themselves.

BW

Yeah, Assange has angered powerful people, and they want to make an example of him to “encourage” the rest of us to stay in line.

You make the argument that . . . “the will is there, the documents are there, and the method for release is there”. I agree that the will is there for some, but so is the fear of being punished. Don’t forget the case of Bradley Manning, a low level “leaker” who was punished as a public example for releasing electronic documents to wikileaks. So, the avenue of release is not foolproof and Manning’s experience would still indeed strike fear into the hearts of whistle blowers.
Lastly, I think that most informed researchers would agree that the ET/human agenda is/was not authored by the military. However, they have been beneficiaries of the technology gained from this agenda for cooperating as minions to perform certain tasks for those that ARE behind the agenda. At other times, factions of the military are just present when evidence of the conspiracy becomes apparent. These are easily dismissed and controlled by the puppeteers. Therefore, I seriously doubt that there is a great cache of military documents regarding the agenda of the true ET/human conspiracy. It’s also part of the reason that Col Alexander didn’t find anything scouring through the mainstream military intelligence channels.
Just because it has become apparent that various secret parts of the government and military have been used to assist in the ET/human agenda doesn’t mean that the 99% of the gov’t/military performing legislative and Defense functions above board knows anything about it. Disclosure will not come about through release of a hidden cache of documents via Wikileaks.

I never said anything remotely like 99% of any government knows anything.
But that fact remains that if there is a Human/ET agenda, then the evidence is that it has been going on since at least 1947 and that means it spans eleven presidential administrations with all the inherent changes in personnel and agenda over the course of 66 years during which time hundreds if not thousands of people, all with their own potential personal agendas have witnessed events and documents. Many have come forward, claiming to be breaking silence either from decades past or from recent years and yet not one has come forward with a shred of documentation.

The fact that these people have come forward, despite their lack of evidence to support their claims, is ample evidence that fear of reprisal is not the issue you would make it out to be.

And all of the above refers only to the United States, not the nearly two hundred other governments on this planet, all of whom would have to be working in cooperation with each other in keeping these secrets, despite wars, espionage, and agendas of domination.
